As some of you may know, a sizeable portion of the eastern US got shafted by mother nature in the form of a huge thunder/wind storm. The mods of this blog are two of the several million people without electricity since yesterday evening. I’m writing this post from my phone to let you know that there will probably be no updates for the next few days, as the estimated time for our area to...

"My real life futa..." [ tw: cissexism ]
Some back story. I am MTF. Due to the fact that I’m 17, I’m not on any hormones yet. I am, however, blessed with looking fairly feminine naturally (which I’m grateful for). I also do like anime, but not very much. It’s not a huge interest of mine at all.
I have a neighbor. He’s 21 years old. When he moved in, he decided to meet everyone who lived around him, which...

Why I Can Never Look at Anime the Same Way Again [...
I met this guy on MySpace around five years ago. I was in eleventh grade, was in the anime club, had weeby friends, so on and so forth. However, unlike those friends, this guy… was unique. To say the least. He went beyond the garden variety weeaboo. No, his insane demeanor was a level above that.
[[MORE]]Kaoru, as we will call him (his favourite character from Ouran High School Host Club),...

Gave an inch and they (tried) to take the mile.
This story opens during my freshman year of high school. I had gone to a different high school than everyone I knew during middle school, so I was eager to start meeting new people. One day, during Biology, we’re assigned lab partners for the semester and mine is a girl that we’ll call “Ellie”. We’re given some busywork assignment to familiarize ourselves with...

The "Kawaii" Yaoi lover from hell.
There aren’t a whole lot of anime/manga fans at my local high school. There’s no club or anything, which I really didn’t have an problem with. Being a “normal” fan of anime, I’ve met and seen a lot of really messed up weeaboos over my years. Luckily, that happened mostly just in middle school with an large anime club and “Cosplay-Day”.
But my high...

Vehicular Manslaughter Card in Attack Mode
There used a store in the local mall for tabletop and card-gaming. Every Thursday was Yu-Gi-Oh Night, and my cousin and her husband used to go. I would sometimes show up to bum around the mall with my cousin whilst her husband played.
The crowd that attended Yu-Gi-Oh Night was a pretty wide group in terms of both age and subculture: You had some hardcore anime fans who proudly flaunted hats with...

Weeaboo goes to Japan for Study Abroad Program
My friend Lee has decided to study abroad in Japan the last year of her bachelor’s program. She left in November and is coming back this July. She told me on Skype everything that happened up until mid February, when one of the students got sent back for extremely rude behavior. It started on the plane…
Lee boarded the plane, and everything was fine. It was filled with what you...

Attacked and bitten.
Ok I admit, I love anime, manga and lolita. So naturally I decided to go to a con just for the heck of it, and to take pictures as my life as a photographer was taking off.
So I got to the con, paid and started taking pictures, and even though all I had on was a sailor moon t-shirt to feel ”in with the others” I got asked to give a hug to someone. Naturally as a kind gesture, I said...

Trampled by Weeaboos....Literally.
It’s petrifying when you’re staring death in the face, especially when death is in the form of forty deranged fangirls who’ve gone batshit up the belfry for Hetalia. This is my horrifying Weeaboo story, and I’m sticking to it.
My friend and I were at AX 2010. Our cosplay consisted of my 6 foot tall friend (let’s call him “W”) dressed like one of the...

poor cherry trees
Back in 2008 I went to the a cherry blossom festival in NYC. They have it every year at the Brooklyn Botanical gardens. While I went there to see the blossoms and the Japanese traditional performances, it seems that the local weeaboos decided this was an outdoor anime convention. Girls wearing thin yukatas even though it was jacket weather outside and cosplayers everywhere.
I think the cherry on...

Foreign Exchange Students - Just Like Hetalia
Jackie is a Hetalian, but also takes it to the extreme. I’ll describe her story from the perspective of two exchange student friends of mine, who went back to their respective nations a while back.
The first one, Katya, was from St. Petersburg, Russia. She came from a family of baby-faced, white-haired beauties, and of course, upon watching Hetalia, became one of the best Fem!Russia cosplayers...

Yaoi Paddles
It happened at London Expo a couple years back. I was part of a big Team Fortress Two group dressed as a fem Scout.
It happened when I was walking down the expo center hallway with a new friend I had made. While walking, I suddenly feel a very sharp, searing pain in my backside. Instinctively, I turn around and there’s a group of people in cosplay with a Yaoi paddle, waving it at us and...

"Karkat Vantas"
We’re going to start the story off with the kid I’ll call “KK”.
So the story begins with KK first coming to the school and joining my english class. I have some of the horoscope signs on my bag so he asked me if I liked homestuck. As a normal response that I assumed a normal person would take lightly I said I did and then proceeded to say “oh and you can call me Dave.” Granted I was wearing my...

Foot Fetish Photographer
Posted by Anonymous on 4chan
I was at a con recently and met up with two girls that were cosplaying as two characters from the same series as me. After a bit of chatting, we were approached by this neckbeard with a serious looking camera who asks if he can take a picture of us. We all agree and he starts giving us directions on poses to take.
One of the girls is sitting down, with the other girl...

Art Store Weebs
A bit of backstory before I begin—I met my best friend, Li in first grade. She had just moved to America from China with her mom, Mai. Li was struggling with her English, so I helped her with it. Because I spent so much time with her, I picked up a good amount of Chinese. When Li and I started middle school, we both enrolled in Chinese classes, so I’m semi-fluent in Chinese. I’m...

PSA: Don't throw buckets.
my-life-is-strange:
I’m sure the title is a little misleading, but this is on a completely different issue - separate from the wank that has been going around tumblr today.
I haven’t seen anything going around tumblr regarding what happened. It’s been posted on Facebook, but after some discussion with some friends, and one other friend being unable to post about the issue, I figured it...

Touhou Tragedy
I happen to love the character “Tewi” from Touhou, and I dcided to cosplay her knowing of the “Are You A Bunny Girl?” I’d be getting all day. Luckily I set up a gathering so that my cosplay would get recognized at least once, not that it was perfect cosplay in the first place.
The day of the gathering, a much taller cosplayer (I’m 4’9) offered to help me...

Nazis are sugoi
A few years back, I went to a rather local convention. This was when Hetalia had first arisen as a popular anime, so at least half of the convention seemed to be made up of Hetalia fans.
I was just sitting around, so I decided to call my mom. She had just recently gotten severe back surgery. I figured checking up on her would be a pretty cool guy idea.
As I started the phone conversation, I...

The year of the Weeaboo
Okay, so this story has two main characters. L, and D. L was a girl at my college, who was really socially awkward. Her parents were really overprotective of her, and controlled a lot of her life.
L was one of the first people to talk to me in freshman year, so I was inclined to be really nice to her, but then things kind of got ugly. L was obsessed with anime. She did your typical weeb-y...

Umm, you need a favor?
It was the start of my freshmen year in high school; at the time, I did have friends, but we had different classes and didn’t see them much, only at lunch or between passing periods. I had heard there was an anime club, so of course I went to go check it out, the female teacher who ran it was really awesome, let’s call her Mrs. M. She is not your average teacher, she was the woman who...

Weaboo Harem
Ok, so I know these 2 weaboo girls, who I’ll call Olivia and May. Olivia isn’t too weabooish compared to May so I’ll mainly talk about May. All you need to know about Olivia is that she’s abusive to her boyfriend (She would beat him if he didn’t attend anime club even though he couldn’t stand anime) and she is May’s future girlfriend/harem maker.
You all are so lucky that you don’t know May. May...

A tackle from the past
So back in middle school I will admit, I was a weeaboo. I tried learning Japanese and yes, I had to get all the newest manga that was out on the book shelves. I hung out with this group who were obsessed and thought it was cool to pretend you were in an anime. Everyone teased us for it but we didn’t care. We thought it was cool to be an outcast just like the Anime characters were from all...

Gemma
It all started in ninth grade, when I moved halfway across the country, from San Francisco all the way to a medium-sized town in the Midwest. Back in San Francisco, I attended a middle school where most of the kids were either Asian or Hispanic. At my new school, I was the only Asian student. I wasn’t outright bulled, but it was obvious that I was ‘different’.
In my math class...

It's summertime, and the weeabooing's easy...
The summer before ninth grade, I was accepted to a prestigious arts program at a state college. I was pretty young compared to the other students, but I found myself making a couple of nerdy friends who shared the same interests as me (comics, Doctor Who, Star Trek) which was relieving. A few days into the session, my friend Cara invited me and a few other friends back to her dorm room to watch...

If You Give A Weeaboo Some Sushi
Last year I worked at a sushi restaurant in my city. It’s part of a chain, and the food is really nothing special. It’s definitely not a traditional Japanese eatery-there are even hamburgers and hotdogs on the menu.
Anyway, one day a very large group of people, mostly teenage girls, came into the restaurant and sat down. As a waitress, I was prepared for large, unruly groups. I was...

Speak Japanese for us!
I’ll start off by introducing myself. My name is Grace. I am an American citizen, although my family is Japanese. My parents are quite traditional, and we live in our city’s Little Tokyo. My family-grandparents and parents-own a shop that sells Japanese trinkets like paper fans, kimonos, some traditional Japanese bath/health products, etc. I work in the shop during the summer and on...

Kimono Prom
When I was in seventh grade, I went through my ‘weeaboo’ phase. My friend had introduced me to Romeo x Juliet and Ouran High. I really enjoyed watching them, and I found that this other girl in my grade enjoyed anime as well. We would sometimes talk about anime, until I realized how obsessed she was. She claimed that she was ‘from Japan’, even though she was about as Aryan...

Nippon Fantasy Land
Rather than a story of one bizarre weeaboo, I’ve got a few stories about a group of them on a trip to Japan. 12 days together wasn’t enough for me to get the usual horror stories you’d find here, but it was plenty annoying and even a little disturbing at points.
I signed up for this guided tour in summer 2008, at the peak of my own weeaboo period, but by the time the trip came...

Then we met a girl named Misa.
Ah, high school. A place where one can stand out or follow the crowd. A place where finding where one belongs is as important as the daily homework assignments. My high school was no different. It was my Senior Year and I was the head of the anime club for our school. Our club had its share of weeaboos, but nothing too drastic. Nothing too bizzare. We had a boy who sat in the corner of most...

She Came For Anon
There was this guy I met in Anime Club sophomore year of high school. Let’s call him Ivan.
He was a self-proclaimed weeaboo who claimed that he was 1/4 or 1/8 Japanese. He was mainly a fan of Evangelion and Gurren Lagann, though I’m pretty sure he was also into REALLY old anime shows like Urusei Yatsura and Space Battleship Yamato. He was pretty intelligent, but was extremely socially...

A Wish for In-Character "Invisibility"
“Snacks” (my sister), “AM” (sister’s clingy girlfriend), and myself attended Ichiban2012 this past January. On the last day of the con, I went as Pajama!Canada with Snacks as Pajama!Prussia (silly, lazy, fun costumes).
We got there early after having checked out of our hotel before the con started up, again. We had about an hour to wait, so Snacks and I just sat...

So, to let everyone know the situation before I begin, I’m in a wheelchair.
I have no use of my legs after getting into a carcrash at 15, that also lost my brother who was 17 and the driver.
It was all very terrible, but I’m 20 now, while it obviously still haunts us and was very sad, we remember my brother’s...

Sister Gone Wrong
Now, I was always a fan of anime. No, not the “OMG KAWAII-DESU CHAN” type fan, but a casual watcher and reader. About a year ago, I was a senior in high school. I was getting ready to pack my bags and leave, although I still had about 3 months until myself and a close friend went to go be roommates.
Now, I was the only person in my family who ever really liked anime and all that...
